Single = ?


Now, we all know that two children who exits the womb in a single pregnancy are called 'Twins', three children who exits the womb in a single pregnancy are called 'Triplets', so on so forth. But what do you think a single child who exits the womb in a normal single pregnancy is called?


If you're curious, the world record for this list goes on and on till 15 children born in a single pregnancy (freaky! madness!)
4 children — quadruplets
5 children — quintuplets
6 children — sextuplets
7 children — septuplets
8 children — octuplets
9 children — nonuplets (can still guess? highlight to see answer)
10 children — decaplets
11 children — undecaplets
12 children — duodecaplets
13 children — tredecaplets
14 children — quattuordecaplets
15 children — quindecaplets

So, back to my original question:
What do you call a single child who exits the womb in a single pregnancy?






My guess is - TABLET.
